Block Island Winter Cod -Saturday Capt Steven Sr reports that Saturday’s trip was a grind. The wind didn’t stop until the end of the day. The wind and cold made it tough, but we did manage a few Cod and a decent shot of Haddock. We did see Ling, Eel’s, Whiting, and Mackerel. Lots of Bites. We also saw lots of Porgies and SeaBass, but they are closed, so they all went back. It was a grind, but the water temperature is still warm, once it cools down things will change for the better. Thanks to everyone on board for the effort. The pool winners were Soojin Park from Great Neck, NY, and Kyle Jones from Brooklyn, NY.

Schedule Update: Block Island Winter Cod Departure time is changing from 3am to 4am. The return time will be 4pm. The fare is $125. We sail on Friday/Saturday/Sunday weather permitting.
